What's happening today on the campaign trail:
- Vice President Kamala Harris will travel today to Pittsburgh, where she will prepare for next week’s debate. After extended negotiations, she and former President Donald Trump agreed to the rules for the debate, which will use the same format as the June debate between Trump and President Joe Biden.
- Trump is returning to his former home state to deliver remarks at the Economic Club of New York. He will then appear virtually at the Republican Jewish Coalition annual leadership summit in Las Vegas.
- Their running mates are also hitting the trail today. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio will deliver remarks in Phoenix tonight, while Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will spend the day in Pennsylvania and deliver remarks in Erie.
Trump to speak at two events while Vance campaigns in Arizona
Trump is slated to give remarks at the Economic Club of New York at 11:30 a.m. and to virtually address the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership summit around noon.
His running mate, JD Vance, will be campaigning in the battleground state of Arizona and is scheduled to deliver remarks in Phoenix at 6 p.m. ET.
This year’s Democratic playbook features a lot of football
When Harris introduced Walz as her new running mate at their first rally together, she called him “coach.”
One of the first stops on the campaign’s pre-convention bus tour was to a town in Pennsylvania where Walz spoke to a high school football team.
Jury selection gets underway in Hunter Biden’s tax trial
LOS ANGELES — Jury selection is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles federal court today for Hunter Biden‘s trial on tax-related charges.
It’s the second-ever criminal trial of a sitting president’s son, and the second for Hunter Biden this year.
Hunter Biden, 54, was indicted in December on three felony and six misdemeanor counts alleging that he failed to pay his taxes during a period when, he has said, he was in the throes of drug addiction, as well as when he got sober. The indictment says that “rather than pay his taxes, the Defendant spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle.”
Prosecutors say in the indictment that Hunter Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019, from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020.”
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
How Biden is spending his final months as president
President Joe Biden is launching a new phase of his presidency this week.
Liberated from the constraints of a re-election campaign, he’s in the beginning stage of a strategy that will take him over the next five months to places at home and abroad that he likely would have ignored as a 2024 candidate, but with the goal of keeping the White House, his legacy and some of his most significant accomplishments secure.

The Sept. 10 event in Philadelphia will use the same rules and format as the June debate between Trump and President Joe Biden.
